Promoting Renewable Energy to Young Students through an Escape Room

Promoting renewable energy among young students is crucial for fostering environmental consciousness and responsibility for the planet's future. Integrating renewable energy concepts into educational curricula raises awareness and inspires careers in sustainable technologies. This article discusses a November 2023 escape room activity in Madrid, designed to educate students about renewable energy through gamification. The activity aimed to enhance environmental awareness and highlight the importance of renewable energy. Students engaged in solving puzzles related to various renewable sources, becoming "Super Herogineers" through collaborative problem-solving. The impact was assessed through pre and post-tests, demonstrating the effectiveness of gamified education in empowering youth to contribute to a sustainable future.
